Case study Zolder. Results of the measuring campaign 1986-1987.

The report gives the first results of the measurement campaign of 1986-1987. The 'Lindeman' housing estate was built by the coal mine of Zolder for its miners shortly after the 2nd World War (1947-1948). The estate consists of about 230 dwellings and accommodates 272 households. The majority of the population consists of immigrants, especially Turks and Italians, people who are used to another, hotter climate than the wet cold temperature climate in Belgium. The rented houses were refitted in 1981.
